Dollar Burger Night at Capital Ale House
(In my attempt to draw more consumers to downtown restaurants and attractions I’ve decided to mention, and critique, some of my favorite places to go. Capital Ale House is first up!)
My husband has been begging me to go with him to Dollar Burger Night at Capital Ale House for several weeks and we finally had an opportunity to go this past Monday. Of course, when a restaurant offers food for a dollar you can expect a crowd. We were not disappointed. We got there at 6pm and were told it would be a 45 minute wait. The hostess was less than hospitable, but I will let it slide because the wait staff and bartenders are usually very friendly. After 15 minutes of waiting, two seats opened up at the bar and we grabbed them. There are 3 burgers that are $1 and the other burgers are $2. If you want cheese added it is an extra 50 cents. Still, not a bad deal. I ordered the Ale House Burger (with cheese) and my husband ordered the Smokehouse Burger. You can add on fries as a side item or an appetizer. The side item is cheaper, but may not be enough fries for two people. We ordered the appetizer and there were enough fries for 4 people. You can not get your burger made to order on Dollar Burger Night. The burgers were delivered to our seats within 15 minutes of ordering and were cooked medium well. They were actually quite juicy, however, a little bland. But for $1.50, it was a good burger. Once we added the cheese, fries, and beers to our order we spent $40 at Dollar Burger Night, but it was a good meal and would have been a $50 tab on a normal night. Next time we will know to order a $1 burger (maybe add cheese) and waters and get out of there for under $6!
Do I recommend Dollar Burger Night? Yes. But I highly encourage you to make a reservation and prepare to spend at least $20 a person if you want upgrades!
Dollar Burger Night: Every Monday Night
Location: 917 Caroline St. Fredericksburg City
you have to order a drink in order to get the deal, not just waters
.
I’m not sure how your tab ended up being 40 dollars!
we go every monday (as long as you dont go between 6-8, theres rarely a wait) and get 4 burgers and 2 beers and our tabs rarely over 20.
